Cinderella
A fairy godmother magically turns Cinderella's rags to a beautiful dress, and a pumpkin into a coach. Cinderella goes to the ball, where she meets the Prince - but will she remember to leave before the magic runs out? Méliès based the art direction on engravings by Gustave Doré. First known example of a fairy-tale adapted to film, and the first film to use dissolves to go from one scene to another.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Méliès constructs enchantment through practical effects and theatrical tableaux, relies on a familiar fairy tale to frame his cinematic magic. He explores the language of film itself, using dissolves to weave scenes into a seamless fantasy.
What lingers after the final dissolve is a sense of pure, inventive wonder—the blueprint for cinematic fantasy. Those who tire of CGI spectacles will find charm in this handmade dream. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Georges Méliès
